Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency rescue equipment technology, specifically a tracked operation robot for water conservancy emergency rescue. Background Technology
[0002] At the scene of a natural disaster, emergency repairs and maintenance are necessary. In particular, during the emergency rescue and disaster relief of water conservancy projects, it is necessary to carry out water-based operations in order to protect personal and property safety. With the iteration and upgrading of technology, tracked robots are often used for remote control operation in current emergency rescue and disaster relief.
[0003] The tracked chassis design of tracked robots enables them to move stably in extreme environments such as mud, landslides, and steep slopes, easily cross obstacles (such as ruins and rubble), adapt to complex terrain after floods, and some models have a wading depth of more than 0.5 meters, allowing them to directly enter waterlogged areas (such as underground garages and tunnels) for operation without the need for personnel to risk their lives.
[0004] However, in actual use, the aforementioned equipment still relies on the traction provided by the tracks for stable operation and movement when wading through water. While mudguards or water deflectors are typically installed in front of the robot during wading operations, these structures, due to their diversion mechanism, tend to direct water flow towards the tracks on either side of the robot. This not only increases the impact force on the tracks but also makes them more susceptible to impacts from debris in the water, affecting the safe operation of the tracked robot. Therefore, we propose a tracked robot for emergency water conservancy rescue. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tracked operation robot for emergency water conservancy rescue, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-6 The illustrated tracked emergency response robot for water conservancy disaster relief includes a vehicle body 1, tracked travel structures 2 on both sides of the vehicle body 1, a robotic arm 3 on the top of the vehicle body 1, and an anti-impact component at the travel end of the vehicle body 1. The anti-impact component includes a mounting base 4, which is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the end of the vehicle body 1. A sleeve rod 5 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting base 4. A damping spring 6 is fixedly connected between the end of the sleeve rod 5 and the inner wall of the mounting base 4. An arc-shaped baffle 7 is fixedly mounted on the end of the sleeve rod 5 away from the damping spring 6. A lower arc plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the arc-shaped baffle 7. A flow guide belt 9 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the arc-shaped baffle 7 away from the sleeve rod 5. A crash barrier 10 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the flow guide belt 9. An arc-shaped belt 11 is fixedly mounted on the arc-shaped outer wall of the crash barrier 10. Side skirts 12 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the arc-shaped baffle 7, and a cutting component is provided at the bottom of the side skirts 12.
[0023] Please see Figures 2-3The width of the arc-shaped baffle 7 is adapted to the width of the vehicle body 1. The arc-shaped baffle 7 is set in an arc shape with the center away from the vehicle body 1 and the two ends close to the vehicle body 1. This is to divert and guide the water flow impact in the direction of the vehicle body 1's movement, so as to avoid it directly impacting the vehicle body 1 and affecting the movement safety of the tracked robot. There are two sets of mounting seats 4. The two sets of mounting seats 4 are symmetrically set with the vertical central axis of the vehicle body 1 as the axis of symmetry. They are used in conjunction with the sleeve rod 5 set in the mounting seat 4 to ensure the installation stability of the arc-shaped baffle 7. In addition, the arc-shaped surface of the lower arc plate 8 and the arc-shaped baffle 7 are symmetrically set with the contact surface between them as the contact surface. This guides the water flow near the bottom, reducing the possibility of it directly impacting the chassis of the vehicle body 1. Under the premise that the arc-shaped baffle 7 does not completely block the water flow, the water flow near the ground can reduce the flow velocity, so as to avoid the vehicle body 1 floating and affecting the operational safety of the vehicle body 1.
[0024] Please see Figures 3-4 The diversion belt 9 is arranged in an inclined arc shape, and there are two sets of diversion belts 9. The two sets of diversion belts 9 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the arc baffle 7 with the vertical central axis of the arc baffle 7 as the axis of symmetry. Specifically, the top of the diversion belt 9 is set near the end of the arc baffle 7, and the bottom of the diversion belt 9 is set near the center of the arc baffle 7, so that it is inclined on the front of the arc baffle 7. At the same time, the width of the diversion belt 9 gradually decreases from the bottom to the top, so as to guide the water flow from the center of the arc baffle 7 to both sides without causing excessive lateral interference to the water flow, reducing the impact of the water flow on the front of the arc baffle 7, and thus ensuring the stability of the tracked vehicle in the water.
[0025] Please see Figure 4 Multiple sets of anti-collision cylinders 10 are provided, and these sets of anti-collision cylinders 10 are distributed on the inner wall of the guide belt 9 near the bottom end. The arc-shaped belt 11 is spirally distributed on the arc-shaped outer surface of the anti-collision cylinder 10. Thus, when external debris impacts the surface of the arc-shaped baffle 7, it will first contact the guide belt 9 and the anti-collision cylinder 10 protruding from the front of the arc-shaped baffle 7. Furthermore, due to the rotatability of the anti-collision cylinder 10, the impact of underwater impurities on the arc-shaped baffle 7 is reduced, further ensuring the safety and stability of the tracked robot in the water and reducing the resistance it experiences.
[0026] Please see Figures 5-6 The blocking and cutting assembly includes an elastic telescopic rod 13, the top end of which is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the side skirt 12, and a crash bar 14 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod 13. An arc-shaped cutter 15 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the crash bar 14.
[0027] In this embodiment, multiple sets of shearing components are provided, and these multiple sets of shearing components are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the side skirt 12. The curvature of the side skirt 12 is greater than that of the arc-shaped baffle 7. At the same time, the side skirt 12 is located directly in front of the track travel structure 2, thereby generating an outward diversion effect on the water flow that impacts the track travel structure 2 from the front, preventing the water flow from directly hitting the bottom of the track travel structure 2 and affecting the track's grip on the underwater ground.
[0028] Please see Figure 6 The arc-shaped cutter 15 is arranged in a semi-circular arc shape, and multiple sets of arc-shaped cutters 15 are arranged in a circumferential array on the arc-shaped outer wall of the anti-collision post 14. This reduces the impact of water flow and the direct damage to the blades of the arc-shaped cutter 15 when impurities in the water come into contact with it, thereby improving the service life of the arc-shaped cutter 15. At the same time, since the anti-collision post 14 can move up and down with the elastic telescopic rod 13 and can rotate itself, when the tracked vehicle is traveling in water, the anti-collision post 14 and the arc-shaped cutter 15 located in front of the track can fit as close as possible to the underwater ground. Moreover, the arc-shaped cutter 15 can cut branches, vines and other impurities in the water as the anti-collision post 14 rotates, preventing them from getting tangled on the track due to the impact of the water flow and affecting the safe use of the track.
[0029] Working principle: The tracked traveling structure 2 uses its gripping force with the ground to enable the vehicle body 1 to move on land and in water. The extension and retraction of the robotic arm 3 are controlled by the robotic hand at the top of the robotic arm 3 to carry out water conservancy emergency rescue activities. When encountering water-related environments, rescuers can remotely control the movement of the vehicle body 1 and the operation of the robotic arm 3.
[0030] Especially when encountering complex water-crossing environments in the wild, as the tracked vehicle moves forward through water, impurities, branches, stones, and other objects in the water impact the arc-shaped baffle 7 with the water flow. At this time, the damping spring 6 and the sleeve rod 5 provide protection in the direction of travel of the vehicle body 1. Furthermore, due to the arc shape of the arc-shaped baffle 7 and the inclined design of the guide belt 9, the water flow in front is guided to the sides of the vehicle body 1 to avoid direct impact on the vehicle body 1. The water flow near the ground is guided by the lower arc plate 8 to avoid impact on the chassis of the vehicle body 1. In addition, the rotatability of the multiple sets of anti-collision cylinders 10 set on the guide belt 9 reduces the direct impact of underwater impurities on the arc-shaped baffle 7, further ensuring the safety and stability of the tracked robot in the water and reducing the resistance it encounters.
